Excellent rooms - as good as any I've come across in private game concessions. Very friendly staff, great food, super game - they have big five on the property. Another big plus is that the lodge doesn't cater for more than ten people at a time, so you're unlikely to feel swamped by the presence of other guests or package...

We only stayed one night as a bit of a romantic getaway after Christmas, but could easily have stayed another night or two. It's super peaceful, relaxing, and away from the madding crowd. There are only 5 huts, so that means only a maximum of 10 people at a time, and mostly it means less, which is great :). The...

This would include Lee-Ann, Steve, Stephanie, Rene, Thembi, housekeeping and kitchen staff. They're a well oiled machine and it shows in the excellent service one receives from beginning to end....

This was our second visit to Elephant Rock Lodge and we really enjoyed the whole experience again. The Lodge only accommodates ten guests, so one gets very personal service. Steve, Steph (our ranger, who is extremely knowledgeable) and Lee-Ann are very friendly and helpful - to the extent that one couldn't ask for more. Game viewing was great. Food was...

We stayed at Elephant Rock for 3 nights during December 2014. It was a fabulous experience. The Game drives were stunning. We saw lion, elephant, cheetah, rhino, hippo plus many more animals. The accommodation and service was brilliant.

I can't give enough praise for all of the staff at elephant rock lodge. From beginning to end of our short trip we were looked after like royalty!! The welcome was great after a long drive getting there. We were taken to our beautiful rooms (with outdoor showers to boot). The views were amazing, and as if by magic we...
